Most weeks the MAC power rankings involve me trying to find some way to justify moving teams around on the board.
This week I just couldn’t.
I mean Bowling Green slapped around Toledo and after some choke jobs by Ohio and Miami Kent State leads the MAC East. I just don’t get this conference some times.
So this week I literally randomized the order ( thanks rand() function ) and then tried to justify that.
Here is what I came up with.
| Rank | Team | PR | Δ | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | BGSU | 11 | 10 | They Beat the previous number one team, so there is that |
| 2 | WMU | 4 | 2 | Tied with CMU for the most overall wins of any team in the MAC |
| 3 | Ohio | 2 | -1 | Because they have not won a MAC title since before we landed on the moon and I feel bad for them |
| 4 | CMU | 9 | 5 | I guess because they are tied with WMU for most wins in the conference (and I also let some CMU beat writer vote?) |
| 5 | Kent | 10 | 5 | Because their internal investigation of the field hockey fiasco cleared them of wrongdoing |
| 6 | EMU | 6 | 0 | Because EMU has been square in the middle of the MAC for 3-4 years |
| 7 | Akron | 12 | 5 | I got nothin.... I can't think of a single reason they should not be in last place |
| 8 | Toledo | 1 | -7 | Toledo is solid but you don't lose to a bottom three MAC team like that without falling... 6.... errr7 .... yea 7 sports |
| 9 | Buffalo | 7 | -2 | UB is minus two in MAC play, so why not drop them down two. |
| 10 | NIU | 3 | -7 | Sure you beat Ohio, but you have the same overall record as Buffalo. |
| 11 | Miami | 5 | -6 | You blew it! Had a chance to go up on the Bobcats by another game and laid an egg. |
| 12 | BSU | 8 | -4 | You can never change what happened in 2008. |
